iPhone and iPad users who subscribe to Apple News+ will be receiving an all-new perk from Apple, at no additional cost.
The upcoming iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 updates add a new Food section to the Apple News app. This section will provide Apple News+ subscribers with tens of thousands of recipes and other food-related content from well-known food-related publishers, including Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Good Food, and Serious Eats.
Here is how Apple describes the new Food section:
With the new Food feature, users will be able to find stories curated by Apple News editors, as well as browse, search, and filter tens of thousands of recipes in the Recipe Catalog — with new recipes added every day. The beautifully designed recipe format makes it easy to review ingredients and directions, and a new cook mode takes step-by-step instructions to the full screen. Users can also save their favorite recipes for later and access them offline.
iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 are currently in beta, allowing Apple News+ subscribers to browse the Food section immediately. The updates will be released to the public in April, according to Apple's announcement about this new feature.
Apple News+ is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The service provides digital access to hundreds of major publications, including The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, PEOPLE, The Athletic, Rolling Stone, and others. In the U.S., Apple News+ costs $12.99 per month, and it is also included in the Apple One Premier bundle alongside other Apple services for $37.95 per month.
In the U.S., Apple News+ also includes access to a series of daily games, including Crossword, Crossword Mini, Quartiles, and Sudoku.
Don't have an Apple News+ subscription? Apple's announcement said select recipes and stories in the Food section will be available without a subscription. But, if you want the full-fledged experience, you will need to pay up.
